King Charles Sends Message to Antarctic Researchers on 70th Midwinter Broadcast

News summary

King Charles has recorded a special message for the 70th anniversary of the BBC's Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast, praising the British Antarctic Survey researchers for their vital work in understanding climate change and Earth's fragile systems. He highlighted the researchers' resilience and commitment during the harsh Antarctic winter, marked by complete darkness and extreme cold, and acknowledged the importance of their scientific observations in telling stories of the past, present, and possible futures. The broadcast, part of traditional Midwinter celebrations, is listened to by isolated scientists at British Antarctic Survey stations such as Rothera, Bird Island, and South Georgia. The King is the first monarch to participate in this annual event, emphasizing the global significance of the research conducted in Antarctica. Researchers like Alex Rootes, leading the UK's Rothera base, expressed honor at this recognition, especially as they endure months of isolation in one of the world's most challenging environments. The British Antarctic Survey describes Antarctica as a barometer of environmental change, with scientists analyzing ice cores to track climate patterns over hundreds of thousands of years.
